SETTLED DOWN UNTIL SPRING.
No More Activity in the Real Estate Market
Expected Until After Next Winter.

The last week was one Of inactivity in the
real estate market. There seems to be dspo-
sition among both BUYERS and sellers to wait for
developments. though it is perhaps more marked
with the latter class great many people
have property that they would like to sell. but
there is so much uncertainty in the market that
they prefer to hold for advance that they
feel sure will come in the course of time. The
principal trade during the last four months has
been in unimproved lots but as the building
is drawing a close. the sale of this class
of property is falling off. Those who ought to be
well acq uAinted with the temper Of the market
of the opinion that there will not be much doing
until spring. That the city will get natural
gas this fall, they say. is certain. With the
possibility of its being pped to the city early
next spring they expect something OF boom in
real estate at that time. This is the view gen.
orally taken of the situation, and those who
have salable property will set around coal
fire another winter and watch for values to go
up There were only ftty-four deeds recorded
during the week, representing exchange of
500, $50 There was but one transaction worthy
of note That was the purchase of the old car
riage factory building, Nos. 123 and 12o North
Delaware street. by undertaken Charles E.
Kregelo from John Coburn. for $4,000. Mr..
Kregelo will Immediately convert the building
into an establishment for his undertaking busf-
ness, at a cost of S. 000 When completed the
place will be the finest establishment of the kind
in the West
The builders already have more work contract
ed for than they complete before cold
weather. and hence there is a falling off in the
permits issued Nearly all those that being
taken out for repairs indoor work
that be done during the winter season. But
nine permits were issued during the week, call
ing for an outlay of less than $1,000. Among
them to Simon Yandes for partitioning
the College block at the of Tennessee
street and Indiana a cost of 81. gu, and
one the c. M. Lester for frame dwelling

The Scarlet Letter. 1t is story of life and manners
the life OF young man of passionate race, whose
blood was tumultuous whose senses were alive, and
OF the eye and manners which believed to be
common IN the south of Europe. and which were not

wit flushed with tenderness and pathos and darkened
with the shadow of death it has every element every

episode which defes oblivion. Juan and Haidee will
be remembered as long Romeo and juliet and
Manfred as long Hamlet.

1.-THE ROOT OF THE WORLD"
The Tremendous Heights Which Russia Has
Scaled with an Army.


New York Sun.
The Russians have fairly established them
selves on one OF the plateaus of the Pamir, that
greatest protuberance of the world, which the
Chinese said thousand years ago was midway
between heaven and earth, and which the ma
tives call 1.-The roof of the world"
knew of the Pamir was contained in a single
chapter of Marco Poos travels. The remark
able facts presented in this chapter were cited
for many years specimens of the fables spun
by this much discredited writer In the history
of discovery early writer has been SO brill
iantly sustained by modern researchers as
Marco Polo by the Russian explorers who have
overrun the Pamir in all directions, and have
found that his picture is almost Photographic in
its accuracy.
Polo said that the herdsmen on the Pamr
made fences of the enormous horns of wild
mountain sheep to incose their cattle at night.
The Russians have found these horns nearly five
feet in length. and a man could not lift pair of
them. Polo asserted that on these lofty table,
lands he could not make his fire burn brightly
give out much heat and the same phenomenon.
due to the rarefaction of the air, has been OBJ
served by all recent Pamir travellers He said
these plains afforded the finest pasture in the
world, and that lean beast would fatten there
in ten DAYS. recent writer says: Tine grass
of the Pamir is rich that a sorry horse is here
brought into good condition in less than twenty
days"
These plains are diversified by low ridges
and here and there a lofty mountain with snow
capped tops, rivaling the great SUBMITS of the
HInalayas. But from the plain where the
higher than our Mount Washington. for they
rest upon pateaus that are from 10 900 to 16. 900
feet high, and whose mean elevation above the
sea is more than twice that of the top of Mount
Washington That is the reason that the mount
aims of the Pamir and of its eastern extension
that walls in Thihet on the north are not par
tlcuarly impressive in appearance, though they
are among the loftiest SUBMITS of the world.
1t is just below the loftest of these Pamir
plateaus. near Lake Sarakul. that the Russians
are building environments for their troops and
grasses
that Polo described. Why they have invaded
these forbdding heights where no crops can
rlpen and vegetation except grasses flourishes,
IS a mystery that time will doubtless make
clear We only know that they within $50
miles of the Indian frontier. and that almost at
their feet is the Afghan state of Badakhshan,
which is more allied in sympathy and interest
to the Russian dependency of Bokhara than to
England's protege. the Ameer.

FIGHTING WITH BROAD-SWORDS.
A Hippodrome Contest Which Was Altogether
Unsatisfactory to Spectators.

large and enthusiastic gathering of one
hundred and fifty seven spectators, not counting
thirteen boys on the north fence. assembled at
Athletic Park yesterday to witness the sword
combat between Duncan c. Ross and Sergeant
Walsh. The performance may have been dra-
matte elsewhere; it was apparently hippodra-
matte here. Walsh is the smaller man. and for
some reason not revealed to the audience, the
"gladators" snapped horses just before the en-
gagement from the effects Of which transaction
Walsh appeared on the worse horse They wore
wire masks and battered tin cuirasses. They
were armed with long sabres, not razor-edged as
advertised, but heavy enough to knock a man
down with. The point of the contest was TO
strike the opponent on his curass. Ross Tailed
easy the first two. and Walsh as easily on
the next three. On the sixth Ross came In again.
but in the seventh Walsh dismounted and at
tackled his big adversary foot. This gave
him advantage because. although Ross could
easily strike him the head he could not reach
his body. and head blows did not count. After
a few passes Walsh scored amid applause, but
quickly lost favor with the crowd by
refusing to fight any longer. He said he had
been struck on his bridlearm and could not
manage his horse. DR.. Brownin = examined the
arm and reported that the wound old
scratch. nowise interfering with the use of the
arm. Walsh said the Doctor too fresh
that he was disabled, ard would be cut to mince-
meat when the combat 6eepened Ross offered
to trade horses. but Walsh
deaf to the proposal. Finally,
there rose something of clamor from the crowd
for the return of the gate money, he consented
to fight it out on foot. Six more rounds were
fought on foot, and all but one of them were
won by Ross. The only CLEAN of excitement in
the affair was in the ninth round, when Ross be-
came angry because Walsh struck him after
time was called and retaliated by hitting Walsh
on top of the head and knocking him down.
